From: in the garage fixing yet another oil leak
Default craper tools

evrything they make breaks

just been tyding the garage and was amazed at the number of broken / useless craper tools i've got

some small sockets and one of them is too small for it's marked size and also the extension has twisted at the end - the ratchet is marked 'heavy chrome steel' - shite

a large hand held rechargeable torch which the battery clip has snapped of

stainless steel feeler gauges which have gone rusty

a small mains powered drill for polishing/ porting etc thats fucked -cost £25 at a car fair and craper tools told me they wouldn't replace it, i'd have to return it to the vendor for a replacement (been used for about 30 mins)

a 100w low voltage soldering gun - you know the one with the light that comes on when you press the trigger. this thing actually still works but i can't figure out why (and neither can craper tools) it says in the instruction leaflet supplied with it 'do not use the soldering gun for more than 15 seconds out of any 1 minute' . this is really silly cos it takes 7 seconds to supply enough heat to flow the solder for even a small joint leaving 8 productive seconds and enough time to make a cup of tea before you are allowed to use it again. craper tools' useless techie said 'oh well you will just have to follow the instructions!'

really, they are just absolutely fucking rubbish, they aren't even cheaper. the only good thing about them is cos they are always blue you can quickly and easily find them when you are getting rid of junk in the garage
